It’s time! TO S-S-S-S-S-S-S-SPENDUEL SOME CASH! CUE DRAMATIC MUSIC AND SOMETHING ABOUT THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP! Usually around this time, Sony kicks off a Days of Play event that has some significant discounts offered up, perfect for those gamers who don’t mind shoving their hungry kids out of the way as if they were a line-cutter at Tops on June 01. This year? It’s happening again.

Games! You want them, and Valve has them! All the games, every single one ever made and you’ll see. Those traitors who fled to the Epic Games Store will be back eventually! THEY ALL COME BACK TO STEAM WHETHER THEY WANT TO OR NOT! Mad rants aside, if you were looking to add more games to a backlog that has no end in sight, then do I have some good news for you.

It feels like there is nowhere you can go to avoid that which rhymes with Flack Fillet Slay. So why even bother? If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.

There is one other way to celebrate the other side of the globe’s festival season, and that’s by living vicariously through the Steam Summer Sale. Because what better way is there to appreciate the warmest quarter of the year, than by staying inside and playing video games.

You’ve just received your paycheque in the mail, and for once it didn’t bounce like a toddler flung onto a trampoline by a drunk uncle. Now you could be responsible and do adult stuff. Like pay your taxes and buy essential goods like…insurance and coffee creamer? I have no idea how to adult. OR, and hear me out here, you could spend your salary on video games instead.

There's a sale on right now on the PlayStation Network, just in case you managed to save some cash for the end of the month and don't mid eating the cardboard that your crackers came in until payday.

This year, the Xbox Ultimate Games Sale hits your screen from July to July 11 on both the Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

Prepare your wallets and check your PayPal account, because Steam has what scientists refer to as a buttload of deals in their Summer Sale.
